This is a rustic ranch type of resort dating back to the 1800s, where Kit Carson stayed, and other historic figures. It is not a plush, pamper me resort, but a resort for active people who want to get away from the big city. The nearest store is 8 miles away, and there are no phones or TVs in the rooms. Others here, do not understand getting away from it all and having cattle and coyotes for neighbors and the milkyway galaxy for a nighttime sky. It is for people who want to play golf all day, for those who want to ride horses whenever over rustic trails, who want to take a sailplane ride, who want to hike on the Pacific Crest trail, who want to camp in a rustic campground without neighbors or lights. It is for making friendships in many of the social groups that grow in a rural community. It is not about paying lots of money for a PLUSH resort with everywhichway servants at your beck and call. It is not about the management, owners, guests, workers. It is a place to call your own, a minuiture rural city near several very large cities. This can be your rural home away from home at moderate expense out in the great countryside of rurall San Diego County.-Review courtesy of F Kleist(stayed during Dec, 2007)
